#1 Fluid 4-3-3
As we’ve seen over the past week, Frank Lampard favors a fluid 4-3-3. Not only does he want it to be free-flowing, but he also instructs his wide men to be narrow too.
Much has been made of Chelsea’s lack of an apparent top-quality striker but that’s why the Blues boss has put so much emphasis on each of the front three making attacking runs in behind the opposing defence, looking to overload the CBs especially.
N’Golo Kante as the RCM that makes third-man runs into the box has worked surprisingly well so far. Maurizio Sarri was heavily criticised for this same decision last season, but clearly, Lampard’s implementation of it is much more effective.
This system requires intelligent movement from all the front three, that’s why I feel Michi Batshuayi would be a much more suitable pick than Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud.
Frank Lamapard himself confirmed that the Belgian still has a future at the club, stating he would be competing for the ST spot against Tammy and Oli.
